Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Beef Stew Meat
  • 1 large Eggplant
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1 large Onion
  • 6 cloves Garlic
  • 2 inch Ginger
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Coriander
  • 1 can Full-Fat Coconut Milk
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1 tbsp Fish Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Aminos
  • 1 tbsp Lime Juice

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 2 lbs beef stew meat into 1-inch cubes. Cut the 1 large eggplant into 1-inch cubes.
  2. 2Heat the 2 tbsp coconut oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
  3. 3Add the 1 large onion, 6 cloves garlic, and 2 inch ginger to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent.
  4. 4Stir in the 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, and 1/2 tsp coriander. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
  5. 5Add the 2 lbs beef cubes to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  6. 6Stir in the 1 large eggplant, 1 can full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup beef broth, 1 tbsp fish sauce, and 1 tbsp coconut aminos. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  7. 7Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the beef is very tender and the eggplant has softened completely. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. 8Stir in the 1 tbsp lime juice just before serving.
